What is a hybrid electric vehicle?
Kia hybrid vehicles, or HEVs, have both a petrol engine and small battery. The battery is said to be ‘self-charging’ meaning that it is usually replenished when decelerating.
Hybrid vehicles only function in full electric mode while stationary, at low speed or when decelerating. At other times, the battery merely supports the combustion engine to get greater fuel efficiency and reach a range similar to that of regular cars.
What is a Plug-In Hybrid?
Kia plug-in hybrid vehicles, or PHEVs, allow you to drive in electric mode on most of your short journeys, while allowing you to travel much further using both petrol and electricity. They are fitted with a relatively large battery which can be charged from an external source such as a home or public EV charging stations.
When starting from a fully charged battery, Kia PHEVs have an electric range of up to 40 miles depending on the model. On longer journeys, they boast a range similar to that of conventional cars by using their engine and battery in tandem.
What is an Electric Vehicle?
Kia electric vehicles, or EVs, run solely on electricity. This offers quiet operation, zero tailgate emissions and breath-taking performance.
Electric vehicle technology has come on leaps and bounds. With technologies like our e-GMP platform, our EVs have an electric range of up to 328 miles* and charge in a matter of minutes thanks to a fast-expanding and easy-to-access network of public EV charging stations .
*The range was determined according to the standardised EU measurement procedure (WLTP). The individual driving style and other factors, such as speed, outside temperature, topography and the use of electricity-consuming devices/units, have an influence on the real-life range and can possibly reduce it.

When choosing between a Hybrid vs Electric car, it’s important to understand the key difference between the two. A Hybrid electric vehicle combines a battery with an engine and charges through regenerative braking. Electric cars run entirely on electricity from the battery and plug into a charging point to recharge.

Actual charging speed & charging time may be influenced by the battery temperature and exterior weather conditions.
The range was determined according to the standardised EU measurement procedure (WLTP). The individual driving style and other factors, such as speed, outside temperature, topography and the use of electricity-consuming devices/units, have an influence on the real-life range and can possibly reduce it.
Battery range figures are official EU test figures for comparative purposes and may not reflect real driving results. Fuel consumption and CO2 emissions are tested using WLTP. Only compare fuel consumption, CO2 and electric range figures with other cars tested to the same technical procedures.
